2. Rhind Mathematical Papyrus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhind_Mathematical_Papyrus

   Problem 32 for instance corresponds (in modern notation) to solving x + 1/3 x + 1/4 x = 2 for x. Problems 35–38 involve divisions of the heqat, which is an ancient Egyptian unit of volume. Beginning at this point, assorted units of measurement become much more important throughout the remainder of the papyrus, and indeed a major consideration ...

3. Mandelbrot set - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set

   The Mandelbrot set ( / ˈmændəlbroʊt, - brɒt /) [ 1][ 2] is a two-dimensional set with a relatively simple definition that exhibits great complexity, especially as it is magnified. It is popular for its aesthetic appeal and fractal structures. The set is defined in the complex plane as the complex numbers for which the function does not ...

   Tutte's conjectures: every bridgeless graph has a nowhere-zero 5-flow [ 135] every Petersen - minor -free bridgeless graph has a nowhere-zero 4-flow [ 136] Woodall's conjecture that the minimum number of edges in a dicut of a directed graph is equal to the maximum number of disjoint dijoins.

5. Algebraic fraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_fraction

   Algebraic fraction. In algebra, an algebraic fraction is a fraction whose numerator and denominator are algebraic expressions. Two examples of algebraic fractions are and . Algebraic fractions are subject to the same laws as arithmetic fractions . A rational fraction is an algebraic fraction whose numerator and denominator are both polynomials.

6. Order of operations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_operations

   Order of operations. In mathematics and computer programming, the order of operations is a collection of rules that reflect conventions about which operations to perform first in order to evaluate a given mathematical expression . These rules are formalized with a ranking of the operations. The rank of an operation is called its precedence, and ...

7. Algebraic expression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_expression

   Algebraic expression. In mathematics, an algebraic expression is an expression built up from constants (usually, rational or algebraic numbers) variables, and the basic algebraic operations: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (×), division (÷), whole number powers, and roots ( fractional powers). [ 1][ 2] [ 3] [better source needed].

8. Pi - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi

   The number π ( / paɪ /; spelled out as " pi ") is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle 's circumference to its diameter, approximately equal to 3.14159. The number π appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics.

9. Field (mathematics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics)

   Informally, a field is a set, along with two operations defined on that set: an addition operation written as a + b, and a multiplication operation written as a ⋅ b, both of which behave similarly as they behave for rational numbers and real numbers, including the existence of an additive inverse −a for all elements a, and of a multiplicative inverse b −1 for every nonzero element b.
